Review: “The Reckless” by David Putnam (Bruno Johnson Series Book #6)
Summary & Review:
Bruno Johnson is a new and untrained Deputy Sheriff for LA County. He is also the single father of a two-year-old girl and works as a police officer in the Violent Crimes Unit.
Bruno‘s ex-girlfriend, Chelsea, comes back as a team member, along with some other characters from the other Bruno Johnson Series. The team needs to stop Gadd (also known as The Darkman) from getting boys to help him with his thefts. Many characters from earlier books show up in this one, but you can still read it on its own.
I do like reading series books in order, though. I also like Harlan Coben’s books, and David Putnam’s are a little different. However, I still think he’s a good writer whose books keep you interested and make you happy at the end every time.
When the FBI asks him and his impulsive partner Ned Kiefer to help with a “special problem,” Bruno is in a lot of trouble. Some teens are breaking the law, and “The Darkman” is in charge of them. The FBI gives Bruno and Ned a case that the Bureau would rather not deal with.
When Bruno finds out who The Darkman is, he is shocked to learn that he is responsible for a murder case that has been open for a long time and has been bothering Bruno. The problem is how to stop the young crooks without killing them, plus stay alive and make sure his careless partner Ned doesn’t kill anyone.
